Chapter 460: Chapter 371 Nascent Soul Perfect (Subscribe Please)

"Jamie Augustus!"

In villa number 69 of the Blue Sea District,

Fang Xing reminisced about the banquet he had attended earlier, silently gazing at the silver-white briefcase that lay open before him.

He reached out his right hand and withdrew one of the documents it contained.

[Regarding the corruption of the populace by the ’Laplace Demon’...Sought to investigate through the war college network, met with opposition from the Augustus Family...]

"The Augustus Family... Jamie Augustus."

"A lure? Or a probe?"

Fang Xing’s expression was deep with introspection, "Or perhaps... Heng Dong providing me with this top-secret information has ulterior motives?"

"Regardless, for now, it’s best to maintain calm and investigate slowly..."

...

Time flowed like water.

In the blink of an eye, several cold and hot seasons passed.

In the Cultivation World,

on Ming Kun Island.

A Cultivation Avatar sat cross-legged, the Great Sun Mark on his forehead flickering.

Surrounding him were countless empty Jade Bottles.

Boom!

A vast spiritual pressure emerged from him, exceeding the limit of an ordinary True Monarch and reaching the level of Nascent Soul Great Perfection!

"Finally... Nascent Soul Perfection?"

The Cultivation Avatar of Fang Xing opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

After the event at the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, he had amassed enough resources for this breakthrough, simply needing time.

By the most optimistic estimates, performing alchemy, ingesting elixirs, sitting in meditation to cultivate Qi... it would still take thirty to sixty years to reach the current stage!

To many True Monarchs, this was already a dream-like speed.

Yet Fang Xing still found it too slow!

Fortunately, after perfecting the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, he gained the ability to infect his avatar, which he did right away.

Thereafter, using the ’Great Sun Furnace’ to devour the medicinal properties, his cultivation speed soared, reaching Nascent Soul Perfection in just a few years!

"Next... is to adjust for a period and then directly assault the bottleneck of Divinity Transformation!"

"Achieving Divinity Transformation before the age of a hundred... there should be no genius like me in the Qian Yuan Great World."

"It’s just uncertain if there are any in the ’Spirit Realm’ where cultivators ascend. But most likely, there aren’t either..."

Thinking back to the Nascent Soul Late Stage bottleneck that had once been feared like a tiger by many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, a faint smile appeared on the corners of Fang Xing’s mouth.

In the past two years, having reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he boldly began to challenge the Nascent Soul Late Stage bottleneck with the aid of two Supreme ’Nascent Infant Pills’ and the All Techniques Ghost Infant, which was already at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

As expected, because the Second Nascent Soul had already broken through the Nascent Soul Late Stage, the bottleneck he faced was significantly weaker than that of other True Monarchs.

Moreover, the All Techniques Ghost Infant had specifically cultivated an auxiliary breakthrough secret technique from the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, fully assisting the main body in overcoming the bottleneck.

With the aid of elixirs and other resources, the breakthrough of the Nascent Soul Late Stage was almost a walk in the park, and he became a Great True Monarch.

Now, having cultivated to Nascent Soul Perfection, even if he relied only on a Fourth Rank pinnacle Rotten Iron Sword, many Great True Monarchs might not be his match.

’A Nascent Soul Perfection Great True Monarch rarely walks in the Cultivation World... after all, having cultivated to such a realm, one would certainly strive to achieve Divinity Transformation! Therefore, ninety-nine percent are in seclusion, or attempting to breach...’

Even in the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World, where materials were extremely abundant, the opportunities that could assist in Divinity Transformation were essentially in the hands of the Three Great Holy Lands.

Other True Monarchs who were lucky enough to reach Nascent Soul Perfection often relied on their own deep resources to forcibly assault the bottleneck.

The success rate was also minuscule to an unimaginable degree.

And after the breakthrough... there was often no way forward.

No wonder the previous trip to the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect had attracted many Nascent Soul True Monarchs and God Transformation Venerables.

"The way of Immortal Cultivation requires a combination of work and rest..."

Fang Xing rose gracefully and walked out of the Cave Mansion, planning to have a good time for two days before tackling the heavenly challenge of Divinity Transformation!

This barrier, once breached, would indisputably place him at the pinnacle of the Qian Yuan Great World, and he could be revered in the realm of cultivation.

Therefore, it needed to be treated with a modicum of respect; before the breakthrough, he had to rest and recuperate for a few days, waiting until the Three Jewels of essence, Qi, and spirit were at their peak, and then pick an auspicious day... That could be skipped.

...

Ming Kun Island.

Fang Xing came out of the He Chun Pavilion, patted his stomach, and prepared to indulge in the Taotie Building.

It was said that the Taotie Building was a Demon Path venture, with a Spirit Chef who excelled at challenging the limits of taste—it certainly warranted a try.

As the Island Master, walking around his own territory so openly would attract too much attention. Fang Xing, who always enjoyed his freedom, naturally changed his clothes and appearance.

Now, he looked like a thin-faced, green-robed middle-aged man with a flowing beard, exuding an air of refined elegance.

Taotie Building.

"This way, esteemed guest, please head to the third floor."

The Qi Cultivation attendant, upon seeing Fang Xing, was instantly startled by the formidable spiritual pressure he emanated, knowing that Fang Xing was at least a Jiedan Cultivator. He hurriedly invited him to the third floor, smiling widely, "Our renowned dishes include ’Five Treasures Porridge,’ ’Dragon Carp Tofu,’ and ’Three Treasures’... Today we also received a new arrival, a Third Rank Top Grade ’Serpent Infant Fish,’ rumored to carry a trace of the ’Nine Infants’ bloodline. Its meat is exceptionally delicious, but if slightly mishandled, it could poison a Jiedan Cultivator to death... Would the esteemed guest like to try this delicacy?"

"Oh? There’s Serpent Infant Fish? Serve me a portion of everything."

Fang Xing waved his hand grandly.

After all, Taotie Building had to pay him taxes every year as long as it operated on Ming Kun Island!

This little expense was nothing at all.

"Alright, sir, would you like a private room or to dine in the main hall?"

The attendant’s eyes lit up, knowing he had encountered a spendthrift. He would earn a considerable commission today and smiled broadly enough to display all his teeth.

"What’s the fun in a private room? I’ll eat in the main hall."

Fang Xing picked a table near the window to sit down, and the attendant immediately served four kinds of pastries, along with a pot of Spiritual Tea.

These were complimentary from Taotie Building, but in reality? The cost was naturally passed on to the customer!

Once seated, Fang Xing’s ears twitched, eavesdropping on the conversation of high-level cultivators on the third floor with his powerful Divine Sense.

Although they were very cautious, mostly using Secret Transmission and even employing prohibition spells on the private rooms,

under the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul of Great Perfection cultivator, naturally, nothing could hide.

"Alas... I never expected Master He to fall... He was a high-ranked cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

"I only heard about it recently as well; he went to the remnants of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect in the Inner Sea..."

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a Holy Land. Even after its fall, it’s so formidable; to our knowledge, do we not already know of dozens of True Monarchs who have perished there?"

"I’ve heard... even the God Transformation Venerables who stand high above have fallen silent... Now the Inner and Outer Seas are in utter chaos."

The fall of a high-ranked cultivator often forms the core of a significant power; once they fall, the impact is profound.

Not to mention, so many have fallen at once this time.

It’s just... the news seems a bit outdated.

’After so many years, the news about the incident of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect has just reached the ears of Jiedan and Foundation Establishment cultivators?’

Fang Xing sipped his Spiritual Tea: ’Now, those who know I went to the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect are probably only the Fire Dragon True Person, Taibai Sword Immortal, and perhaps Old Devil Meng.’

After all, Old Devil Meng’s Second Nascent Soul had encountered ’True Monarch Fang Yun.’

But this was just a speculation.

Because the Second Nascent Soul originated from a Second Nascent Soul’s advancement, ordinary cultivators simply cannot integrate their consciousness with the Second Nascent Soul, instantly feeling one with it regardless of distance.

Fang Xing could achieve this because, firstly, the secret technique ’Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual’ was formidable, and secondly, due to the Great Ability of the Gate of All Heavens.

The Gate of All Heavens could connect different worlds, unite the primary body with the Cultivation Avatar, and make consciousness one. It’s just a small feat.

If it were the Demon Path’s Second Nascent Soul Secret Technique, once the distance got too large or there was too long a lapse in synchronization, or if the Second Nascent Soul’s cultivation drastically increased, major issues were likely to occur.

And the Righteous Path’s External Avatar Technique might not rebel, but it could not stray far from the original body, also a flaw.

If these shortcomings were resolved, or even consciousness became one, unaffected by any distance...

That would be a true Great Divine Power—the ’One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.’

Fang Xing retracted his Divine Sense and ventured into another private room.

Taotie Building, wanting its customers to have a pleasant dining experience, naturally had strong prohibitions around the private rooms, including silence and eavesdropping prevention.

But under Fang Xing’s Divine Sense, these were as good as non-existent.

’Hmm? Seems like I’ve caught two little fish...’

Inside the private room, two high-ranked cultivators appeared to be at the Jiedan Realm.

But shockingly, they were both concealing their true cultivation levels—they were actually two Nascent Soul True Monarchs!

At this time, the two True Monarchs were seemingly relaxed. After secretly monitoring Taotie Building with their Divine Senses, they began to converse.

One of them, a burly man with tattoos on his face, blurted out astonishing news: "Heavenly Venerable Yu, has he really fallen in the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect?"

"The female master of Piaomiao Heavenly Palace has kept this matter well concealed... but our people have climbed to the high ranks of Piaomiao Heavenly Palace and have their speculations."

The other, a middle-aged scholar holding a white jade folding fan, laughed and said: "Therefore... We are tasked with spreading the news, to startle the snake from the grass!"

"It seems, our Palace is preparing to go to war with the Immortal Palace of Piaomiao."

The tattooed burly man sighed, his eyes filled with both eagerness and fear.

For them, if they could distinguish themselves in the great war, perhaps their cultivation could advance even further.

But war is dangerous and unpredictable—deadly!

"One mountain cannot house two tigers... Once the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect stood, the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World was a tripartite balance, the most secure. Now it is no more..."

The middle-aged scholar sighed: "Our Wuji Palace will have to decide the winner with the Immortal Sect of Piaomiao eventually... But to start with, we smaller players need not rush forward... As for spreading the word of Heavenly Venerate Yu’s fall, let’s leave that to the ’Dark Cloud Palace’ after all, that Great True Monarch of the Dark Clouds, is a genuine Loose Cultivator."

"Yes, precisely... Exactly so."

The tattooed middle-aged man was delighted.

...

"Sir, your Baby Snake Fish Soup..."

As Fang Xing was deep in thought, a server brought over a bowl of soup.

The soup had a pure white color, with fish meat tender beyond comparison.

Upon contact with the tongue, there was a numbing, electrifying sensation.

Once the numbness faded, a rich, overwhelming flavor flooded the senses, as though a landslide and tsunami swept over.

"This must be where a tiny bit of the Baby Snake Fish toxin is intentionally retained, right? Quite a thoughtful touch... and a delicious flavor."

Fang Xing took another spoonful of soup, his eyes lighting up.
